Pros

Nice co-workers. Solid benefits, but nothing like the major players in the valley.

Cons

Where to start. There's currently no active FT CEO, or CTO. 200-plus people have just been laid off. Employees walk around scared. Old CEO pushed a 9-5 policy Which is ridiculous for Silicon Valley. No one is questioned or held responsible for making a questionable acquisition. Companies always launching a new product, but moves onto something else before it's perfected.

Thank you for taking time to share your experience. I'm sorry to hear that things didn't work for you at realtor.com. It is true that we have had some leadership changes this year. I'm confident that we will bring in a new CTO and CEO who will position the company for future growth. We have an amazing interim CEO, Tracey Fellows. She is extremely action oriented, and is driving cultural changes that are already having a positive impact.

Pros

Great pay and opportunity for advancement if you can get on the right projects that will succeed. For the most part I have the tech I need to do my job and my coworkers are really smart capable people who I learn from every day. I feel challenged in my work and that makes me feel engaged and interested in the problems I solve daily. Flexible vacation time and great benefits.

Cons

It can be incredibly chaotic at times, bordering on toxic. People are on edge and passing blame around like a hot potato. Hierarchy, power plays, and territorial politics create land mines for the unsuspecting on any given project— depending on your team or organization you’ll need to tread lightly to survive. They only hire in Austin right now, so any open roles seem to take a long time to fill, but the work still piles on.
